As the amounts of textual data generated by different economic, social, and scientific systems are increasing over time, having computerized systems that exploit the potential and valuable knowledge becomes a need. In our work, we propose a syntactic relation discovery system that explores potential relations between interesting domain entities and summarizes all valuable relations in a visualized and easy to understand network graph. This exploratory analysis should define research paths in different domains and guide researchers through more advanced inferential, predictive and causality analyses.

In order to achieve efficient supply chain integration for the processes or activities; the organizations should recognize and understand all the integration challenges of supply chain and the relations between those challenges. Our goal in this book is to construct a novel statistical model that explores all challenges of supply chain integration and the relations between them. In this book, we validated our proposed model through an empirical investigation using partial least square (PLS) path modelling.

We analyse in this book the linkages between the industrial sector of a developing economy and other sectors – specifically agricultural sector, the government and the rest of the world. In the context of demand, our basic position is that, an export surplus of industry vis-a-vis the rest of the world and an appropriate government intervention through ‘domestic exports’ can mitigate the problem of effective demand faced by the industrial sector. On the other hand, we recognize that the foreign exchange constraint and the food constraint can present supply side bottlenecks for industrial expansion. However, a complementarity between different demand and supply side policies are crucial for an expansion of industrial output and employment without involving distributional conflict between different classes of people and without any capital flow between different sectors. But, before going to these theoretical questions we discuss in detail the food-supply situation and the corresponding demand-supply gap for India, as food-supply constitutes a significant supply-side factor in our macro framework. With this background, we formulate our structuralist model for the Indian economy.

Although information technology provides us many ways to better ourselves, it has also significantly increased the complexity of our lives. Everywhere we turn, there is more data. Data about our friends and families. Data from applications we use to conduct business. And data about the hundreds of thousands of events happening around the world every second. This explosion of data, along with empowering us to make better decisions and stay closer connected to each other, has also created problems with (1.) data consumption and information gathering, (2.) effective collaboration, (3.) measurement of the effectiveness and processes, (4.) social integration and engagement. In many aspects of our lives (e.g. Healthcare, Music industry, Design of machinery etc.), additional technologies such as semantic and social media, have helped provide structure to the information. Whether it’s through collaborative tools like Sharepoint for our business lives or powerful social networks like Facebook in our personal lives, these technologies give us a way to make sense of all the data. But in some areas, such as public relations and journalism, these tools have been unable to keep pace with the amount of information.

To promote the perennial and ubiquitous stinging nettle as a profitable source for aphid management programs in agro-ecosystems, it is of primary importance that the diversity and seasonal abundance of aphids and their natural enemies are known. For this purpose, agricultural and semi-natural habitats were investigated over two full cropping seasons in Gembloux, Belgium. Our field data support the strategies aimed to exploit stinging nettle habitats as important reservoir for aphidophagous insects that tended to occur early on this marginal plant, before attacking aphids in adjacent field crops. Moreover, our findings suggest that stinging nettle habitat offers many important requisites for the survival of natural enemies, such as alternative prey that are not available persistently in annual cultures. Our data on the spatial distribution of aphid predators have identified varied influences, such as the food preferences and intraguild interactions. For natural enemy population management, promising results were obtained from our behavioural bioassays. As a conclusion, stinging nettles can play important roles in agro-ecosystems.

The thrust of this book is to make an exploration of the literary representation of the black family under slavery. How the family fared under the peculiar institution of slavery was determined by the social system of the Old South that determined how and to whom goods were produced to satisfy human wants. An exploration of this capitalist patriarchal ideology shows that the slave was objectified for economic gains, this causing severe impact on the slaves’ familial relations. Therefore, it is the slave who can give an objective account of how the slave family fared under slavery. It shall also be shown that gender based experiences caused the horror of slavery to be more traumatic and difficult to overcome for slave women than slave men. In the final analysis it shall be made clear that despite all the odds against it, the slave family survived the horrors of slavery –and this resilience still echoes to us in inspirational overtones during our own crises.

Inter-group relations in our area of study has been cast in the Hobbesian hue of endless internecine conflicts; in the domination-submission mould, with the Igala portrayed as the dominant force and the Igbo and Idoma as the subservient peoples. Very little thought has been given to perspectives of mutuality of interest, interdependence and autonomy of political actions among our focal communities. This study has dissented from these conventional perspectives and has stressed mutuality, autonomy and occasional conflictual relations which most often, did not go down beyond the veneer to the marrow. Given the litany of stereotypes and prejudices encountered in the study of Igala influences in Igboland, there is the need to understand the dynamics of inter-group relations in our study area, namely the contiguous Igala, Idoma and Igbo communities. However, the litany of markets across the borders is suggestive of the peaceful atmosphere of the area, as markets do not thrive in Hobbesian conditions. The conventional portrayal of Idoma, Igala and Igbo borders as occupied by cantankerous peoples who do not see eye-to-eye with each other is misleading.

Contemporary international relations have reached a fragile condition, and prevailing disciplines and arrangements cannot bring stability and peace among nations. Establishing peace, security and discipline for individuals, nations and states in international order is of the most important matters. Regularization should be done through approaching natural rights of individuals and observing humanistic characteristics and ethics. Spirit of legislations, which is the same in all religions, is called Tariqa (Sufi path), Sufism or Mysticism. Thus, if international law be defined and designed based on the spirit of all religions, which is the same in all of them, a unified law will be agreed upon and accepted by the majority. The draft for international relation declaration based on Islamic Sufi teachings was compiled based on the author’s extended studies on the subject in three main topics of public international law, foreign policy and diplomacy. Since mystical characteristics of Sufism and Gnosticism of all religions are all based upon love toward the Creator, and consequently love toward the creatures of God, this provisions could be agreed upon and put into practice operationally.

Communication is the act of conveying information for the purpose of creating a shared understanding. It’s something that humans do every day. Communication is the life blood of social as well as corporate world. We exist because we communicate. Even our silence communicates a lot. 'Communication' is a key instrument to create relations, to strengthen relations between the two people or a group of people. Without communication methods, there are no human relations and human relations rehires effective communication methods, tools, positive words, skills etc.

As the amount of stored data grows, the relational schemas needed to organize all these data get more complex, increasing the number of relations in the database. As a consequence, it becomes necessary to write SQL queries that involve a large number of relations. Once a SQL query is introduced into the DBMS, the query optimizer must find the most efficient query execution plan to solve it. State-of-the-art query optimizers, which typically employ dynamic programming techniques, are limited in the number of joins they can handle. In these situations, optimizers either resort to heuristics or fall back to greedy algorithms. However, greedy algorithms do not consider the entire search space and thus may overlook the optimal plan, resulting in bad query performance. In this book, we present a query optimizer based on genetic programming algorithms. We compare the results yielded by our optimizer with those yielded by the UDB DB2 optimizer, as well as some of the most efficient randomized algorithms proposed in the literature. Our studies show that the larger the number of relations involved in the query, the larger the benefit obtained by this type of optimizers.

Infant mortality, the rate at which innocent children die from vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs) is still alarmingly high in some parts of Africa and other developing countries. The death of an innocent child is a heart-rending phenomenon in all cultures all over the world, and this becomes more unbearable when the baby is the only child of the parent. Global immunization efforts at eradicating the VPDs have often been scuttled by superstitious beliefs, poor health-communications or wrong social marketing approaches. The killing of nine nurses engaged in one of the routine immunization exercises, in cold blood, at a Street in Kano State of Nigeria in February 2013, is a case in point. Even though they were on health-salvation mission to the people, to rescue their infants from the cold hands of death.Finding workable culture-centric social-marketing media for enhancing success of the immunization campaigns, in superstition-ridden communities is the aim of this study. This book will be useful to health professionals, marketing communicators, students and researchers in the health-marketing fields, and anyone concerned for the deaths of innocent children all over the world.

This book focuses attention on the importance of economic factor in International Relations using Nigeria as a case study within the period 1960-1985.

Fletcher Hanks was the first great comic book auteur. That is, he wrote, penciled, inked, and lettered all of his own stories. He completed approximately 50 stories between 1939–1941. As a one-man-cartooning-band, his work packs the wallop of a unique and unified artistic vision. Whether it’s the superhero Stardust doling out ice cold slabs of poetic justice, or the jungle protectress Fantomah tearing evildoers from limb to ragged limb, contemporary readers are stunned by the pop surrealism and outright violent mayhem of Hanks’ work. Originally featured in two paperback volumes, this deluxe hardcover collects for the first time all of Hanks’ previously published material, plus several gems newly discovered for this volume, making this the very first complete collection of the works of Fletcher Hanks. Edited by cartoonist and critic Paul Karasik (City of Glass), who also provides an insightful introductory essay and illustrated afterword.

All marketing orientations have one mutual assumption, which is the pursuit of the best fulfillment of purchasers’ expectations. However, the holistic orientation stands out from them; according to this, the assumption should be used with reference to all subjects interested in the offer of a given supplier, regardless of this offer’s specificity. A company that is marketing oriented in the holistic approach treats the needs of all recipients as a priority, including final purchasers, their employees, etc, aiming at their fulfillment in the best possible way; building long-term relations serves this purpose. On the basis of the discussion presented in this book one can state the fact that many offerers in Poland are still taking activities towards their employees and final purchasers which are entirely antithetical not only with holistic marketing orientation, but even with the assumptions of its classical approach. Acting against the principles of ethics proves the instrumental and objective treatment of recipients, whose needs and expectations should theoretically guide offerers’ activity.

“The poems presented here explore the themes that concern us all, regardless of age and country. Love, the meaning of life, faith, Time, our relations with other people… Poetry is a philosophical inquiry into one’s life. This inquiry, however, is of artistic nature, as we do not merely lay out our emotions and ideas, but we present them as an image, an allegory, which the reader has to decipher in order to comprehend and show empathy” – Julia Shuvalova.

Public Relations in Asia Pacific reflects the growing professionalism in the practice of public relations in the world’s fastest expanding economy. It is a carefully drawn road map, both strategically and tactically, for all manner of entities, for profit and not-for-profit on how to establish and maintain effective relationships with their numerous stakeholders. Particularly insightful are the many examples of public relations in action within the Asia Pacific region. It’s a “must” read for those interested in public relations careers and those new to the profession; and it’s a first-rate refresher for the established professional. —Harold Burson, Founding Chairman, Burson-Marsteller Worldwide Mary Devereux and Anne Peirson-Smith have combined their considerable talents and experience to produce a bible of how public relations is—and should be—practiced in the Asia Pacific. One of its many virtues is that it debunks the myth that PR is just one long lunch hosted by caricature Svengalis and Spin Doctors. Rather, it sets the profession in a cultural context that will be valuable to those starting at PR 101, professionals and corporate executives who want to know how truth can be well told (with all due credit to McCann Erickson). —Kerry McGlynn, Special Adviser, Corporate Communication Department, Cathay Pacific Airways As greater social pluralism, stakeholder influence and internet driven consumer sophistication and empowerment grow relentlessly across nearly all Asian societies, Public Relations in Asia Pacific is a timely guide to the critical role of good public relations. Clear, helpful and with a wealth of good examples of how best practice PR in action can make real and tangible contributions to governments, businesses, NGOs as well as to ordinary people, this is essential reading for anyone concerned with how to communicate well in the world’s fastest growing economic region. —Tim Sutton, Chairman Asia Pacific, Weber Shandwick In an increasingly globalized world, public relations practices and strategies become critical for organizations to communicate effectively to their diverse audiences worldwide. This book is therefore an extremely timely and relevant contribution to PR students and practitioners in the Asia-Pacific region as it provides not only a comprehensive overview of the essential concepts and skills of public relations but also specific case studies which illustrate tactical uses of public relations across a wide range of issues and countries. In my opinion, this book fills a major gap in the understanding of public relations concepts and practices and will constitute a fundamental resource for all those who aspire to excel within the field. —Dr. Indrajit Banerjee, Secretary-General, Asian Media Information and Communication Centre (AMIC)

In the last three decades, changes have also occurredin the employment relations practices. ThoughJapanese employment relations system was regarded asthe most vital element for the success of Japaneseeconomy, especially during 1970s, many academiciansand practitioners raised question marks. In fact, thechanges in national factors —national institutions,labour market, national culture and business andeconomy— had jolted the prevailing employmentrelations practices too. The impact of developmentsin national factors seemed to be different in thesize, number of employees and sectors of individualcompany. However, in general, all the above fournational factors are influencing the employmentrelations factors.

Trust is central to our social lives and trusting relations are themselves of great value. In trusting others, we realise distinctive forms of value. What are these forms of value, and how is trust central to our lives? These questions are explored and developed in this volume, which collects fifteen new essays on the philosophy of trust.

I intended to find out the historical events highlighted significant issues in the relations between two countries. The current status of the relations has also been highlighted. Important events regarding various issues will helpful to understand the status of cooperation and conflict between two states. A policy recommendation can therefore serve as an important tool for the future consultation and citation. It will also provide the probable direction of Pak-U.S. relations in the future challenges and opportunities. The focus has been on the objectivity of research and analysis on the basis of keeping in view all the possible aspects of the situation in discussion.

NATURE consists of five Tatvas i.e. Earth, water, air, fire and ether. These five tatvas consists the human body. Therefore it is our duty to protect and conserve the nature. We are all depending over nature for all the purposes. Nature is our best and true friend. So we must save this our best friend. All living and non living things are directly or indirectly dependant over each other for many reasons likes oxygen - carbon dioxide cycle in between plants and animals. Therefore there are certain kind of interactions occur in between the species and environment. Thus environment is also declared as our necessary and true friend. But with our activities which include all the activities which has been done by human beings (fortunately or unfortunately) to exploit this best friend (nature).

•As educators we cannot ignore the influence that popular media have on our own and our students’ perceptions, expectations and identities. The volume contains a broad selection of media examples and topics, making the discussion of identity and stereotypes in the classroom accessible to all who seek to address the question: “In the educational context does art imitate life, or does life imitate art?” (Dr. Jennifer S. Hallett) •Difference manifests in myriad of ways in our relationships with others. These relationships play a critical role in the classroom to impact teaching and learning. Each essay offers different and yet important insights into the numerous ways that our racial and/or ethnic identities shape social relations to complicate our understanding of identities. (Sheila S. Lee) •This important volume is situated at the intersection of identity, ethnicity and art. It is far more than a theoretical exploration into these valuable topics but a praxis oriented text that explores how each topic can inform new ways of engaging marginalized communities. (Joel S. Ward)

Forward: Public relations science is a strategic conversation. As you might imagine, it is an ephemeral and wide-ranging field, often misperceived, and because of the lack of message control inherent in public relations, it is difficult to master. Public relations science is even difficult to define. Is it spin or truth telling? Either way, the public relations function is prevalent and growing; the fragmentation of media and growth of multiple message sources means that public relations is on the ascent while traditional forms of mass communication (such as newspapers) are on the decline. You can find public relations in virtually every industry, government, and nonprofit organization. Its broad scope makes it impossible to understand without some attention to the taxonomy of this diverse and dynamic profession. Learning the lexicon of public relations will help you master the discipline and help your study move quicker in subsequent reading. Studying this unique book is inevitably recommended for all managers, professors, journalists, conversationalists, mass media insiders, students and organizations.

The aim of this dissertation is to explore how the status and standards of public relations as a profession are perceived by the three main groups involved in public relations: academics, practitioners, and business leaders. Low recognition of the profession, a shortage of qualified practitioners, a lack of regulation, and a lack of credibility among practitioners are major issues in the Malaysian public relations industry. In order to administer this study, several research methods were employed: a quantitative postal questionnaire, qualitative in-depth interviews and a review of policy documents. In each case, the focus was on following four dimensions of public relations professionalism: the exclusive jurisdiction of public relations; PR education: the establishment of its exclusive training schools; the importance of a code of ethics; and accreditation and licensing. Public relations can be a ‘true’ profession if all parties involved are united and committed to developing standardised, universal forms of public relations practice.

India and Bangladesh are part of the Indian Subcontinent and have had a long common cultural, economic and political history. The cultures of the two countries are similar; in particular Bangladesh and India's states West Bengal and Tripura are all Bengali-speaking. However, since the partition of India in 1947, Bangladesh (formerly East Bengal and East Pakistan) became a part of Pakistan. Following the Liberation War of 1971, Bangladesh gained its independence and established relations with India. The political relationship between India and Bangladesh has passed through cycles of hiccups. However, both countries today recognise the importance of good relations, regional security and South Asian economic integration. Relations have improved significantly which sought to revive Indo-Bangla relations in the emerging Asian economic order. The two countries are undertaking strategic partnerships in developing regional infrastructure, anti-terrorism, greater trade, mutual access to markets, environmental protection, hydroelectric power, energy, international co-operation and cultural relations.

Laboratory and wire house experiments were conducted to determine response of different spring wheat cultivars to water stress imposed after three and six weeks of seedling emergence. It was found that drought stress significantly decreased the water relation, nutrient uptake and grain yield of all the wheat cultivars. The late drought stress imposed six weeks after seedling emergence significantly reduced the uptake of nutrients than early drought stress which was imposed three weeks after seedling emergence.

Industrial relation is the one of the major component which determine the potentiality and stability of the employees as well as helps to enrich the productivity of the business establishments. Textile industries were contributing more to the Indian economy in terms of export earnings as well as generating employment opportunities. Most of the modern days business establishments have failed to maintain the good industrial relations as well as face the labour scarcity due to high employee turnover. This book is more useful to the researchers in the field of textile sector and industrial relations. The relationship between the employees and employers determine the productivity of the enterprises. If the industrial relation is good the enterprise will attain the success in all the side especially in terms of producing the materials without much defects. So this book will helps to enrich the productivity and morale of the employees to maintain the industrial peace. This book will help the researchers in the HRM and textile field may got the clear view about their topic through this book.

Standing ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with the United States is how Prime Minister Tony Blair liked to see himself during and after the 2003 Iraq war. That he and his government often, but by all means not always, ended up standing ‘shoulder to waist’ is only one of many aspects that characterised Anglo-American relations in the period between 9/11 and the end of Blair’s premiership in 2007. Both sides, however, were not left without benefits from their so-called ‘special relationship’. The often accurate, but in many instances also unjust and too shallow portrayal of Anglo-American relations in cartoons during the timeframe in question builds the main object of study of this paper. On the one hand the analysis focuses on the depiction of the relationship between and the opposing characters of Tony Blair and President George W. Bush, on the other hand the relation between the two leaders and the rest of the world as well as the role of the United Nations are discussed.

This is an important new book which bridges the gap between international relations and international law. The aim is to promote an interdisciplinary exchange of legal information and ideas, in an effort to make international law accessible to a wider audience. The scope of this text explores the concepts and techniques of international law, and illustrates the latest advances in our understanding of many of the specific mechanisms that are used to maintain global order. This book represents a special effort to bring together the information that would allow a non-legal oriented reader to appreciate the important role that international law plays in international relations between states in our era of globalization. Clearly written and organized without losing depth and richness, this introductory text is suitable for students of introductory programs in political science & international relations. It can also be a very useful resource for readers across the social sciences spectrum and for those working in the developmental sectors and those even remotely connected with international relations.

We are in the midst of a sleep deprivation crisis, and this has profound consequences – on our health, our job performance, our relationships and our happiness. In this book, Arianna Huffington boldly asserts that what is needed is nothing short of a sleep revolution. Only by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back control of our lives. Through a sweeping, scientifically rigorous and deeply personal exploration of sleep from all angles, Arianna delves into the new golden age of sleep science that reveals the vital role sleep plays in our every waking moment and every aspect of our health – from weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease to cancer and Alzheimer’s. In The Sleep Revolution, Arianna shows how our cultural dismissal of sleep as time wasted not only compromises our health and our decision-making but also undermines our work lives, our personal lives and even our sex lives. She explores all the latest science on what exactly is going on while we sleep and dream. She takes on the dangerous sleeping pill industry and confronts all the ways our addiction to technology disrupts our sleep. She also offers a range of recommendations and tips from leading scientists on how we can achieve better and more restorative sleep, and harness its incredible power. In today's fast-paced, always-connected, perpetually harried and sleep-deprived world, our need for a good night’s sleep is more important – and elusive – than ever. The Sleep Revolution both sounds the alarm on our worldwide sleep crisis and provides a detailed road map to the great sleep awakening that can help transform our lives, our communities and our world.

Placed in the international trend, Romanian accounting had experienced various changes, especially as regards of progress on disconnection between accounting and fiscality. Nowadays, fiscal rules should not have any role in accounting decisions, because accounting rules should be applied to produce accounting information that is useful in making decisions and provide a true and fair view upon financial reality of the entity. However, the barrier of the habit of accounting thinking from a fiscal point of view of all economic transactions remains yet insurmountable. The developed ideas support improving professional accountants using specific accounting tools, of these an important role have accounting policies and procedures. By issues addressed we have shown a wide range of analysis that combine theoretical and practical aspects of accounting and taxation as well as accounting and fiscal policy impact on the financial statements.Therefore, an important part of the paper is dedicated to accounting policies and practices as well as their interference with tax purpose.
